What is Emitrr Forms
Emitrr Forms is patient intake form software for healthcare practices and service businesses. Build online patient intake forms, send them by text, and track responses in the conversation.
- One mobile packet: Bundle intake, consent, and screening in one link, with one submission and no portal login.
- Visible progress: Track viewed, partial, and submitted status. Automate delivery and unfinished-form reminders.
- Usable records: Keep downloadable PDFs on patient or contact records and trigger the next workflow step.
How Emitrr’s Form Works
Create the paperwork your practice needs, send it by text, and track it through completion.
Create your form packet
Start with a template or build a form. Add required fields, uploads, and signatures, then bundle related forms into one packet.
Send one link by text
Send the packet from the patient’s conversation or automatically after a configured event, such as a new appointment or missed call.
Patients complete it on their phones
Patients open the link, answer questions, upload documents, and sign. They submit the packet without a portal login.
What Emitrr Forms Can Do
Patients need a clear way to complete paperwork. Your team needs to know what’s still missing. Emitrr brings both into the same conversation.

What Teams Use Digital Forms For
Digital forms help collect missing information at the point patients need to provide it, from the first inquiry through ongoing care.
Starting and Completing Patient Intake
New-Patient Intake
Collect demographics, consent, and signatures through a bundled SMS link. Give staff a completed PDF to review before arrival.
Abandoned-Form Recovery
Detect abandoned web intake and send an immediate SMS or AI follow-up. Help the contact return to the unfinished form.
After-Hours or Missed-Call Intake
Send a form after a missed call or partial AI intake. Collect remaining details, including birth date, insurance, and signatures.
Multi-Step Onboarding
Send intake, screening, and payment forms in sequence. Workflow rules keep each step in order as the patient progresses.
Collecting Details Before the Visit
Insurance and Documentation Capture
Collect insurance card photos and required documents with form responses. Reduce separate calls and messages for missing paperwork.
Pre-Visit Clinical Screening
Send pre-visit screening forms and patient screening questionnaires, including patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), PHQ-9 for depression, and GAD-7 for anxiety.
Online Consent and Signatures
Send online consent forms and collect patient e-signatures before the visit. Retain signed responses for your team to review.
Billing and Financial Responsibility
Send financial responsibility and credit-card collection forms. Conditional rules skip documents that do not apply, including for Medicaid patients.
Coordinating Ongoing Forms and Records
Referral and Fax-Replacement Workflows
Turn an incoming referral into an SMS form workflow. Collect answers in defined fields rather than transcribing details from faxed paperwork.
Recall and Reactivation Campaigns
Include reactivation forms or short surveys in recall sequences. Collect updated information from patients returning after a gap in care.
Regulatory and Payer Documentation
Capture signed documents as PDFs for recordkeeping. Keep the paperwork available to support audit trails and compliance requirements.
Preparing Forms for Charting
Keep submitted forms as secure PDFs on patient or contact records. Staff can download completed responses for charting.
